Karl Urban has been chatting about the plans for the next Star Trek movie...
It’s been just over a year since the release of the 13th Star Trek film, and the third in the modern line of reboots, Star Trek Beyond. Around the time of the film’s release, there were plans already in place for another film involving the crew led by Chris Pine as James T Kirk. Yet there’s been precious little progress since. So what’s been happening?
Karl Urban, who plays Bones in the new Trek films, is currently on the promotional trail for Thor: Ragnarok, and he’s told Screen Crush that he’s been in the dark too.
“You know as much as I do, my friend”, he told the site. “Listen, we’d all love to make another Star Trek movie. That’s absolutely certain. But if we...

Star Trek is probably the most successful science fiction franchise of all time spanning six decades of science fiction storytelling. In the series, I will be looking at the highlights of all the past episodes from each season of all five TV shows that went before leading up to the new series Star Trek: Discovery that will be airing in the fall of 2017.
Star Trek: The Original Series – Season One
Original Broadcast: (September 8th 1966 – April 29th 1967)
Development
After a failed attempt at selling Star Trek to NBC with the pilot ‘The Cage’, starring Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Christopher Pike, NBC told Gene Roddenberry to film a second pilot with a more “action & adventure” orientated plot – which was unheard of at the time. Roddenberry complied and wrote two story outlines: one being ‘Mudd’s Women’ and the second being ‘The Omega Glory’ both of which were produced later on the series...

Juliette counts down ten terrible Admirals that Starfleet must have been mad to promote...
You would think Starfleet would be very careful about who they promote to Admiral, running numerous psychological tests, only promoting those with a solid track record as Captain and keeping a close eye on them for signs of inappropriate behaviour. But no. Based on the evidence of this sorry lot, Starfleet generally just promote whoever happens to be in the vicinity and looks good in the fancy uniform.

As will become clear below, this is particularly true of Admirals sent to work with the Federation’s flagship, the USS Enterprise. During the 24th century, the appearance of an Admiral on the bridge of the Enterprise is generally a solid indicator of upcoming shenanigans. We can only presume Starfleet...

Fifty years on, are we closer to the peaceful future of Star Trek? We ask Zachary Quinto, Chris Pine, Karl Urban, John Cho & Justin Lin.
On the 8th September 1966, Star Trek made its debut on Us television. Introducing the crew of the USS Enterprise on their exploratory voyage across the galaxy, it provided the jumping-off point for a franchise that has endured for 50 years.
Series creator Gene Roddenberry may have taken inspiration from a number of sources when he came up with Star Trek - Ae Van Vogt's novel Voyage Of The Space Beagle, MGM's movie Forbidden Planet, to name two - but American television hadn't seen a genre show quite like this before. Employing some of the best sci-fi writers of the era, Star Trek was a space opera which dared to tackle big themes: xenophobia, equality, social change, all in the context of an adventure series with plenty of colour,...

The film where Jean-Luc Picard met James T Kirk: we take a look back at Star Trek: Generations...
This article contains spoilers for Star Trek: Generations
Entropy. That is the ultimate theme in Star Trek: Generations. As signified by the long tracking shots of a bottle of champagne, culminating with it smashing upon the bow of the new Enterprise. The mechanism by which all change happens. How order turns to chaos, and why all good things must come to an end.
It’s also the only word that can possibly integrate the two disparate halves of the film. The treatise on the afterlife and impermanence, versus Data discovering the meaning of laughter. But really, that’s clutching at straws (and that’s coming from the guy who defended Star Trek V). For all the good ideas and fascinating moments, Generations is the curate’s egg...

In the late 1970s, an aborted feature film would have given the Klingons a striking movie outing...
It's March 1977, and there's a very odd party going on at Paramount. The champagne's flowing, the glasses are clinking, but the atmosphere's far from celebratory.

Writers Alan Scott and Chris Bryant, who for the past six months had been working on a Star Trek movie script, have decided to leave the project following numerous rewrites and conflicted ideas from producers.
Susan Sackett, who was Star Trek creator Gene Rodenberry's personal assistant at the time, was one of several people at that party. "The occasion was one of celebration," Sackett wrote in the seventh issue of Starlog magazine, "yet touched with the sadness of saying 'au revoir' to old friends.

Toss on the life jackets (or as they were called during WWII, “Mae Wests”) and prepare yourself for a nautical thriller, one “inspired by true events” (barely a month into 2016 and here’s the second “non-fiction” flick after 13 Hours). Now it’s not a wartime actioner with destroyers battling subs. As you may have gathered from the numerous TV spots, this story is more of “man versus Mother Nature” one, along the lines of The Perfect Storm from way back in 2000. Since then we’ve seen film heroes fighting storms and killer waves in Life Of Pi, All Is Lost, and the very recent (maybe six weeks) In The Heart Of The Sea. This new flick is not set a couple hundred years ago like that whale-hunting adventure, only 64 years next month. This is a tale of determination and courage exemplified by the Us Coast Guard in one of the most astounding sea rescues,...

Hidden in amongst all the new characters in the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a Beastie Boys reference. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Ello Asty.
Not twigged the Beastie Boys connection? Well, Ello Asty is remarkably similar to Hello Nasty, an album by - you guessed it - the Beastie Boys.

Spotted by the clever people over at io9, this space hip-hopera connection makes a lot of sense when you remember that director Jj Abrams is a die-hard fan of the group.
Abrams's 2009 franchise reboot Star Trek even opened with a scene that had a young James T Kirk joyriding while listening to the Beastie Boys' song Sabotage.

Across film and TV, there have been many Star Trek projects that never got the greenlight. Such as these...
Since 1964 (yep) there have been Star Trek projects that simply didn't make it to the big or small screen. And before Star Trek's second (proper) coming in 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture, the franchise had more than its fair share of attempts to come to life, and then be reborn.
This lot in fact...
Star Trek – The (original) Original Series
Here's a thought – the original Star Trek series wasn't supposed to be the original Star Trek series.
The pilot that sold the show to NBC was in fact the second pilot, after the original, entitled The Cage, filmed at the end of 1964, was deemed too cerebral. That's on top of having other multiple issues that TV executives (and test audiences) of the time couldn't cope with – you know, like gender equality in the workplace.

From Star Trek: Generations through to Star Trek: Nemesis - here are 47 nerdy spots in the Next Generation films...
Since Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1979, the Star Trek cinematic outings have proved to be a smorgasbord of references and famous actors (or those who would go on to be), and often had complex behind the scenes events that stopped some rather, ahem, fascinating moments making it to the final version. We found lots of nerdy spots in the first six films here.
This time out we look at the films featuring the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation and choose 47 factoids. Granted, there's a lot more than that of interest, but we've tried for ones that you might not be aware of.

When people think of Star Trek, some will think immediately of William Shatner as James T Kirk. However, I suspect most would agree they first think of Leonard Nimoy as the iconic green blooded half-breed Vulcan, Mr. Spock.
To this date Leonard has been on more Star Trek movies than any other actors from The Original Series, starring in 8 films to date. This speaks volumes of him as an actor and a beloved character by both directors and Trekkies alike.
Film and TV
In 1951 Nimoy started his acting career at the young age of 20 where he played a football jock named Chief on the film Queen for a Day which was based on the New York based radio program, Queen for Today.
Within the same year he played a baseball player in the film Rhubard, a film about feral cat that inherits a fortune and a professional league baseball team.

Chris Pine has said that a sequel to Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit will not likely be happening any time soon.
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit was released earlier this year to mixed critical reviews.
Speaking to Moviefone, the actor revealed: "I don't think it made enough money for [a sequel] to happen. That's one of my deep regrets, that we didn't totally get that right.
"It's a great franchise and if it's not me then I hope it gets a fifth life at this point. It's just great. I love the spy genre. I hope it's done again and with a great story."
The Jack Ryan films are based on a popular series of books written by author Tom Clancy.
Meanwhile a release date of July 8, 2016 has been set for Pine's next outing as Captain James T Kirk in Star Trek 3.

William Shatner has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund a book on career reinvention.
Shatner's new self-help book Catch Me Up is focused on encouraging and inspiring people over 50 with career struggles to reinvent themselves.
Catch Me Up offers tips on how older people can adapt to modern technology, in addition to providing career guidance to people of any age.
Shatner has already written a draft of the book and is now seeking funding to avoid having to rely on a major publishing house.
"Going the traditional route would've required a number of sacrifices including a change in the overall message," Shatner explained on his Kickstarter page.
"So I've decided to take a page from my own book, so to speak, and use crowdsourcing to fund this project."
Shatner is seeking to raise at least $50,000 by January 19, 2015, with more than $23,000 in donations already pouring in.
Perks for those donating include...

Series boldly going where this man has been before. William Shatner is being lined up for a role in the next Star Trek film, it has been reported. The actor, who played Captain James T Kirk in the original 1960s TV series, was rumoured to be in talks last week - a rumour swiftly rebutted by Shatner himself, who claimed on Twitter it was the first he'd heard of it.

William Shatner’s Captain James T Kirk is loved by many, but let’s not forget that he was at the centre of some Star Trek howlers throughout the years
Jj Abrams apologises for lens flare on Star Trek: Into Darkness
Into Darkness voted worst Star Trek film by trekkies
How do you solve a problem like William Shatner? The 83-year-old Star Trek icon has always divided opinion almost as spectacularly as the long-running space saga with which he will be eternally connected. Shatner was at the heart of the best moments of the original Star Trek TV series and early movies – think the Harlan Ellison-penned City on the Edge of Forever, or the rugged, visceral thrill of 1982’s The Wrath of Khan. But he also played his part in episodes of preposterous camp, such as 1968’s Spock’s Brain, and directed the abominable fifth big-screen adventure, 1989’s The Final Frontier.

The actor who made his mark as Star Trek's Captain James T Kirk talks about growing up in Montreal and his belief that what's on the mantelpiece reveals a lot about a marriage
My father, Joseph, had a small company making men's clothing in Montreal, where I grew up. He was lower-middle class. He struggled and worked very hard. He was gone a lot of the time and when he came home he was tired, so he would read the paper and on the weekends he'd rest. My mother, Anne, kept the house, but she was interested in doing more and always had a higher ambition than just being in the house. But there was no way for her to make that work. She would try to do small things – work as an actress, and she gave elocution lessons.
Neither of my parents really influenced me, although I suppose...

New skipper of high-tech vessel USS Zumwalt shares a name with TV starship commander played by William Shatner
Captain Kirk's futuristic-looking ship sports cutting-edge technology, new propulsion and powerful armaments – but it isn't the Starship Enterprise. The skipper of the USS Zumwalt is Navy Captain James Kirk, and yes, he's used to the jokes about the name he shares with the TV starship commander played by William Shatner.
"I don't take any offense," he told The Associated Press. "If it's a helpful moniker that brings attention to help us to do what we need to do to get the ship into the fleet and into combat operations, then that's fine."
The technology-laden Zumwalt, which is taking shape at Maine's Bath Iron Works, is unlike any other Us warship. The navy's largest destroyer will feature a composite deckhouse with hidden radar and sensors and an angular shape that minimizes its radar signature.

Its a question as old as time…well about as old as 1999. Who is the best Starfleet captain? Are you a hardcore classic purist and always answer James T Kirk, despite all his many questionable actions? Or you all forward thinking and advocate for gender rights and consider Katherine Janeway the best? Perhaps it’s the diplomatic, Shakespearean, Earl Grey-drinking Jean Luc Picard? Or do you like Jonathan Archer because he was Sam Beckett in Quantum Leap?
For me, Captain Benjamin Sisko is the best of the best, but against stiff competition it is going to be a hard case to sell. The single father / Emissary to Bajor / Starfleet captain / military strategist had so much going for him across his seven years in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine that I am confident I have a wealth of example to present.

James T Kirk, was surely the very model of a 23rd-century progressive and understanding man of the future. He may have been a staunch advocate of maternity flexi-time and equal rights for women but, spreading intergalactic progeny throughout one’s starship, be it the Enterprise, Enterprise-d or Voyager, should not be accommodated in the Star Fleet Code of Conduct.
To seek out new life, when digitally inscribed by Star Fleet Command, presumably implied that the new life would be found outside the ship, not popping left, right and centre inside the ship. There is a comments box if you dare to disagree.
The following arguments are based on the logic of families on starships, please do not mistake flippancy for misogyny… this is my first article and I’d like to make it to a second!
7. Does No-one Remember The Titanic?
Shall I compare these ships? Let me count the ways.
